Any thoughts, good or bad, on the hood vents for that are available. Do they cut down on the heat in the cockpit? How about any problems when caught in the rain?

The best way to reduce heat in the footwells is to add a small scoop to the outside of the wheel wells or to add a vacuum hose/funnel/scoop to direct cooler outside air into the cockpit floor area.
Adding air deflectors (Baker) to your windshield if your windshield is sturdy enough will also help.
Sealing off openings into the engine compartment also helps - Interior Heat | Polaris Slingshot Forum

I'm located in South Florida, so the heat is a problem.
I am considering the hood vent that is advertised on some web sites.
I will look into some of these other options y'all mentioned, but thought maybe the ready made hood vent would help. A little concerned about the effects of rain getting in through it as we get caught in downpours more than we would like.Dont worry about downpours ask us totally vented hood guys that expected Noa's Ark popping up between the mountains at Maggie Vally.
